I bought recently a 1.2 Acenta Premium version and it drives lovely, yes it is a little light on steering and bouncy over bumps but not enough to annoy and take away from the styling and features provided by Nissan even on entry level models. This small car holds on the roads well and has great storage and boot space. Engine noise isn't bad so don't believe some online reviews on that. All around a cool little car that could pull my large frame up hills ok! Better still only £20 road tax for the year! get in!

Larger than I thought. Roomy inside. Well fitted with satnav, bluetooth and 12v outputs. Seats adjustable and configurable. Heater/Air con. Many features automated (rain detector, lights, wipers). Boot has 2 layers (removeable dividers). Excellent low emissions and fuel use. Readouts such as how many miles before needs petrol, fuel consumption. Still finding my way around. V Good AM/FM radio (but no LW or DAB note) . Overall v pleased.

Nissan Note (2013-2017) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| More spacious and practical than a conventional supermini | Some safety kit was reserved for upper trim levels |
| Economical to run | Not as reliable as you'd expect |
| Comfortable ride and handling | A Ford B-Max is more fun to drive |
Quick Summary
The Nissan Note (2013-2017) is a compact MPV that blurs the line between a supermini and a people carrier. Built in Sunderland, this second-generation Note offers a spacious interior with flexible seating arrangements, including a sliding rear bench that adjusts legroom and boot space by 150mm. The rear doors open to almost 90 degrees, making it easy for passengers to enter and exit. With up to eight trim levels available, from Visia to Tekna, buyers can find models with useful equipment, including the NissanConnect touchscreen infotainment system on higher trims.
The Note excels in practicality and running costs, with a simple engine range comprising a 1.2-litre petrol (available naturally aspirated at 78bhp or supercharged DIG-S at 97bhp) and a 1.5 dCi diesel at 89bhp. Official fuel consumption figures range from 60.1mpg to 78.5mpg, whilst CO2 emissions are low, resulting in minimal tax costs. Insurance groups are very low (group 6 to 10), and servicing is affordable through Nissan's fixed-price scheme. However, the Note's high driving position lacks reach adjustment, and it doesn't handle as dynamically as rivals like the Ford Fiesta or B-Max.
Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a spacious, practical, and economical family car with flexible seating and low running costs.
Not ideal for: Those prioritising dynamic handling, premium reliability, or comprehensive safety features as standard across all trim levels.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nissan Note | 3/5 | 4.2/5 | 33.3% | 4.1/5 |
| Peugeot 3008 | 4/5 | 4.6/5 | 39.2% | 4.4/5 |
| Honda Jazz | 4/5 | 4.6/5 | 34.7% | 4.4/5 |
| Ford B-Max | 5/5 | 4.4/5 | 31.7% | 4.4/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the Note if: You're seeking a spacious, practical, and economical family car with flexible seating and low running costs on a tight budget.
Consider alternatives if: You prioritise dynamic handling, premium reliability, or comprehensive safety features as standard across all trim levels.
Competitive Position: The Nissan Note (2013-2017) offers excellent value as a spacious and practical compact MPV, though it faces stiff competition from the Ford B-Max, Honda Jazz, and Peugeot 3008. Whilst the Note excels in practicality and affordability, rivals like the B-Max provide more engaging driving dynamics, and the Honda Jazz and Peugeot 3008 offer superior reliability and higher overall CarGurus ratings. The Note remains an intelligent choice for budget-conscious buyers prioritising space and economy over driving excitement.
